SOCY 100: INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY
MONTGOMERY COLLEGE
SOCIAL STRATIFICATION IN THE MEDIA
Write a 3 page analysis on the topic of social stratification that is found in a newspaper or
magazine, and make sure the paper meets all of the criteria stated on this document. This paper
must be typed and submitted on Blackboard.
Find a recent newspaper or magazine article that illustrates an event or situation relating to social
stratification that has occurred in the U.S. within the last couple of years (2013- 2015). The
article must be from a major source, such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time
Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, among others. The article can be found online or in print.
Choose an article that focuses on groups of people in conflict with one another as a result of the
inequality in the U.S. class system. You may want to run the article by me first before
proceeding with this assignment. The objective of this assignment is to provide you with an
opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply sociological perspectives of social stratification
to real-world situations.
I. Background (1 page):
a. Briefly describe the social stratification or situation presented in the article.
b. When you describe the situation, do not plagiarize – describe in your own words!
c. Make sure you include a well-developed thesis statement which informs the reader in one
sentence what your paper is about. The thesis should be placed at the end of the
Background section. Go to this link for assistance:

II. Assessment (2 pages): This is the core of your paper. Make sure this section is very welldeveloped, well-organized, and well-written since your grade depends mainly on your
sociological analysis of the article.
a. Discuss why the social stratification or situation occurred by relating it to four
sociological concepts/theories learned from any of the chapters in the textbook.
Remember that you do not need to explain the theories/concepts. You will be graded by
how you apply the theories/concepts to the article you have selected.
Concepts/theories must be bolded or underlined in your paper, or they will not be
counted in the quota.
b. Discuss how the reality is presented by the author/reporter/media. Are there any
unwritten cultural assumptions? Do those assumptions reflect ideologies? Do the
ideologies support the status quo? What kind of status quo? Are there any biases in the
media presentation? If so, what kind of biases? Try to read between the lines. Cultural
assumptions are not written.
Important: you are asked to analyze both the content of the article of your selection as
well as how it is presented. Presentation usually reflects ideology and subtly power
relations.
c. Include an engaging and stimulating conclusion paragraph that summarizes your paper.
Demonstrate evidence that you can make connections between all of the main ideas.
Make sure to include the URL of the article in your list of “Works Cited.”
The paper should be logically organized in well-constructed paragraphs/sentences, have relevant
content, and be easily understood. There should be few or no errors in format, sentence
structure, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. These errors should not hinder comprehension of
your writing.
If you are citing sources, there must always be in-text citations and a list of “References” in APA
style. Sources must be in alphabetical order in the list of “References.” For assistance on APA
style, refer to these websites:
